You and the rest of the biofuel backers have the cart before the horse. If ethanol (corn or cellulosic) is the substitute that you claim, let’s wait until it becomes commercially viable. These ethanol mandates are madness. We have a no-energy energy policy. Let the market find the appropriate energy portfolio.

Damn right BUMP!
Dump the subsidies for corn derived ethanol. There are plenty of other laws I would like to repeal. Check the thread of the first link in comment# 1 on this thread.

that’s fine, but it case you haven’t noticed, the oil companies have had a monopoly on our energy needs...playing it up as much as possible, to the detriment of the whole economy. Any tax breaks that government can give to small and large companies to get us going on hydrogen and other much better energy sources, is good.
